“Melancholy
and moving…[KILL FLOOR] is a very closely and often quite beautifully
observed character study focused on the difficulty of pulling yourself
up from America’s bottom rung, however willing the spirit and able the
body.” —Chicago Tribune. “Mr. Koogler observes the nuances of…unequal
relationship[s] with delicacy…KILL FLOOR never strikes a false or
strained note…” —The New York Times. “Koogler [writes] sharp, lived-in
dialogue, and his characterization of Andy is quick-witted and
unsentimental.” —Time Out (New York). “…a solid gut-punch…a dream come
true for actors, featuring meaty conflicts and two-character scenes that
are both tender and pungent…[A] riveting, edge-of-your seat play by a
writer worth keeping an eye on.” —TheaterMania.com.
